Chili-Lime Pineapple Chicken Skewers

These chili lime pineapple chicken skewers can also be made with mango for a delicious dinner!

My mom has graciously been typing all my loose recipes into the computer for me – last week she sent me a tally of how many recipes I had in each category. Let’s just say I am “heavy” in the chicken category. I promised her I would look for some main dish recipes that weren’t chicken but I just can’t help myself – I love chicken.

So this week I am sharing another chicken recipe – this one for chicken skewers. I found this recipe at one of my “Go To” recipe blogs – Our Best Bites. I have found several wonderful chicken recipes there, one which I shared a few weeks ago – Asian BBQ Chicken.

Fall is here in Oregon. The leaves have turned and the furnace is running. So before the wet, rainy weather set in I decided we needed to fire up the grill one more time. I’ve had today’s recipe in my “To Try” folder for a while so this past weekend when my parents came for Sunday dinner was the perfect opportunity to try it.

Our Best Bites used mango. I had some fresh pineapple in the refrigerator and since I am not a big mango fan (a texture issue) I decided to use the pineapple.

I am sure the mango is good but the pineapple was a great substitution. I doubled the sauce and marinaded the chicken and pineapple in seperate bags.

I served it with my favorite rice – Lime Cilantro rice, a green salad and some yummy cheddar garlic biscuits. And just in case you are wondering – Yes – my family does have to wait to eat until after I have taken a picture!!!

This looks wonderful!! I also tried the Asian Chicken BBQ last week and the family LOVED it. I’ve been searching for the perfect Asian marinade and hadn’t found it until I tried your recipe! I made it with PW’s Asian Noodle Salad and both were a hit!! So much so that I was asked to have it again this week 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to post your pretty pictures and recipes. It’s very helpful for us rookies!
